Research at Esdes – Inspiring CSR: transformative and impactful research
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a major strategic endeavor, around which companies’ actions must be elaborated and implemented. It is a pathway to engaging in responsible management - a key requirement expected by multiple stakeholders. However, addressing social and environmental issues through genuine changes generally requires significant commitment, resource investment and modification of practices. This process often encounters numerous conflicts, forces and paradoxes that hinder companies from being truly responsible.
As such, Esdes faculty members address CSR in action to inspire various stakeholders (including academic community, students, managers and society) through our transformative and impactful research.
